South Bay will share the 120,000-square foot arena with its parent club, the Los Angeles Lakers, as both teams will use it as their training site.

The South Bay Lakers will have their own training area for workouts and recovery, as well as their own players’ lounge.

General Manager Nick Mazzella has expressed excitement about how the facility will improve South Bay’s game atmosphere.

“To have bleachers, better food accommodations, food trucks that are going to be outside and a whole exhibition entrance, it’s just going to make things a lot better,” Mazzella said during initial construction. “It’s going to be more of a true game atmosphere.”
